Auburn VA041

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Caldwell's campfires disclosed his position to Stuart. Stuart says his men could hear every word spoken, that he opened fire on hearing a volley he took for the main army's attack, and that the infantry fire then ceased. NPS says Stuart bluffed Warren's infantry and escaped disaster.

Attributed knowledge from interested accounts and a summary.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Hays's and Webb's divisions moved with the train toward Catlett's while Caldwell held the enemy in check. Stuart says he halted his command for feed after breaking out.

Movement statements from interested accounts; no return inspected.

supportedunresolved Stuart says he placed his guns to co-operate with any attack by the main body on the Union flank, and that a vigorous attack at the time he expected it would have annihilated the corps. Humphreys says Caldwell held until the road was clear.

Stated aims and a counterfactual attributed to the Confederate commander; not a causal estimate.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen result reads Inconclusive and the live result Indecisive. Stuart says he was compelled to withdraw his artillery; Humphreys says Stuart escaped; NPS says the II Corps pushed on to Catlett Station.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 113 total; the live field reads zero. Stuart speaks only of comparatively small loss.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. Humphreys' Auburn-and-Bristoe totals are not assigned here.

supportedunresolved Stuart says Gordon ordered forward one of his regiments, 'the old First', whose colonel, Ruffin, fell in the charge; Humphreys says Hays's two regiments met the charge and Ruffin was mortally wounded. The frozen commanders are Major Generals Stuart and G. K. Warren; the live heading gives Stuart no rank.

Command roles from interested accounts; the frozen commanders do not receive automatic sole credit.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

disputedunresolved The frozen force field reads Brigades; the live field reads zero. NPS names 'Owens and Smyth's' Union brigades against Stuart's cavalry and infantry of Harry Hays's division. Humphreys says General Alexander Hays, commanding the Union second division, detached two regiments against Stuart. Stuart says he opened seven guns on an army corps.

NPS's 'Harry Hays's division' and Humphreys' Union General Alexander Hays conflict; no counts are given. Live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Stuart says dense morning fog concealed him, that the Union troops used the rolling ground to work around his flanks, and that he withdrew across the mill-race once it was bridged. Humphreys places the cavalry attack south of Cedar Run.
